Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, precious metal materials such as Au, Ag, Pt, etc. are commonly used in the middle conductive layer of composite transparent conductive films. The cost of noble metal films is high and resources are scarce and difficult to obtain, and the reflectivity of Au is very high, which is not conducive to maintaining transparent conductive films. The light transmittance, which affects the performance of the final product
Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a flexible ZnO composite transparent conductive film with excellent comprehensive performance, low raw material price, easy access, and convenient mass production, but it has not been reported in the prior art
